title: Reductive cleavage of O-, S-, and N-organonitroso compounds by nickel(I) beta-diketiminates.
abstract: An electron-rich nickel(I) beta-diketiminate cleaves the E-NO bond of O-, S-, and N-organonitroso species to give the nickel nitrosyl [Me 3NN]NiNO along with dimeric nickel(II) alkoxide or thiolate complexes {[Me 3NN]Ni} 2(mu-E) 2 or the mononuclear nickel(II) amide [Me 3NN]NiNPh 2. This diamagnetic three-coordinate amide exhibits temperature-dependent NMR spectra due to a low-lying triplet state.
